Our esteemed Tariff Reform cotempora-
ry, the Strasburg "News, while disclaim-
ing any purpose ito detract one iota from
the credit Mr. Randall should receive for
his manly defence of the South when she
most needed FRIEND" insists that his
presence in the House of Representatives
is in the ignoble capacity of a Democrat
put there, OR rather permitted there, by
the Republican party in reward for past or
expected services to it. That is grave
iptimatien with regard to one of the fore
most Democratic statesmen of the Ma
tional Democratic party, which if well
founded should be not only humiliating
to the man with regard to whom it is
made, but also to the party itself. When
it is remembered that in every Presiden-
tial contest Mr.. Randall has been called
on by the National Democratic Commit
tee to lend his aid in the field in defeating
the Presidential nominee of the Republi-
can party, and that the carrying of New
York for MT. Cleveland has been in large
measure attributed to his activity in that
State, the intimation seems most lnexplic
able. The News" claims that the Repub-
lican legislature Of Pennsylvania gerry
wandered the wards of the city of Phila-
delphia for Mr.. Randall's benefit, and
concludes:
Despite the fact, then, that the district
was Democratic il 1884, ror Any SUBSEQUENT
year, we are still forced to differ with our
neighbor, the VINDIcAToR, FOR whose opinions
we always entertain the highest respect, and
are constrained to inquire how long such an
enti-tariff Democrat as Col. VIM. r. Morrison
would be allowed Democratic district in the
Republican city of Philadelphia by the Re
publican legislature of Pennsylvania.
We don't know precisely how long, but
we presume just as long as the Republican
legislature Of Illinois bas allowed him to
represent Democratic district in that
State; say fourteen years at least. And
if the Democrats Of the district did not
get sick of it, and by staying away from
The polls get rid of him as they have just
done, we take it that his eminent services
In creating division in the Democratic
party would entitle him to continuous
Republican clemency for the remainder of
his life.

1t seems hard for the governing class
es" of England to understand the passing
events of the world. Mr.. Goschen of the
present cabinet denies that the sympathies
of the thinking people Of America are
with Gladstone's Home Rule policy for
Ireland, and adds that he sets more
value upon the American example in the
uarrel between the North and the South
than upon any resolutions cabled from
Chicago" The american example" in
the quarrel between the N orth and should
be followed by the British government,
save it's errors. If followed otherwise,
England would invade Ireland. destroy
one-fifth of it's property and kill or disa-
BILE one-eighth Of its fighting population,
with great cost of blood and treasure to
itself, and then after the war give it the
very Home Rule the war commenced
about-placing it On an equality in every
respect with England. Does not common
sense teach every body, but one of the
governing classes" that it would be more
economical to give Ireland what she justly
asks for without the expenditure OF blood
and treasure.

TENT, AS war measure it should cease
with the necessity which called it into
being.
1t is un-Democratic and has been 80 ad-

the less SO, since its corps of officials has
been changed from Republicans to Demo

These, Mr.. Editor, are my reasons for
differing with my Democratic bretheren &,
and think am one of thousands of good
Democrats who hold the same sentiments;
, as was shown by the last election for Con-
gressmen-and who, in future, will sup.
port that candidate and that party, most
nearly repres enting their views. They
have ceased to regard party cries and
party shibboleths, as mystic ties to bind
men together politically. They regard
the business interests and the business
pursuits of the country as infinitely
more important to them than tie success
OF party measures Or of aspiring can
didates.
They are tired of politics and want rest
from political excitement, and return OF
good feeling between neighbors, so long
estranged by party strife. They want
peace, prosperity and happiness, and care
not who rules the couutrY-Who is Presi-
dent or Goverhor,-so they have these
coveted boons.
The party that will uphold the honor
and credit of Virginia. that will develop
the resources of the State, and bring cap
ital aud immigration to her borders will
satisfy and secure the support of the
people.
i, The candidate, who, forgetting the ami
mosities and discussions of the past, is
ready to cooperate with all good men OF
all sections and all parties to build up
our waste places, and labor for thu good
OF tho people of all classes, irrespective OF
section, nationality. or race, will secure
the support Of a majority of both parties
in Virginia.

but (which, when they have increased in age
and numbers and are burdened with the
government. prove to beas imperfect as the
rest. The two great parties between whom
this country is now so evenly divided.
have theil share of faults, and grave ones.
SO nearly divided tina. no man can step
from one to the other with the hope of
finding relief. It may be that in
other parts of the Union the
people care very little who is President
SO they have ''peace, prosperity and hap
piness," but in this particular part, the
people, after twenty five years experience
of it, have found SO much more of all
three under Democratic President that
with US the difference is very serious
matter. Gen. Walkers Arcadian idea of
"rest from political excitement is sooth-
ing, but not practical.
In America political excitement serves
to keep a free people free. We have no
revolutions here as in Europe, SO we pre-
serve our freedom another way. 1t is po-
| litical excitement that teaches the people
on great questions, makes them watchful
of their liberties and their privileges, in
forms them of the character and worth of
| their leaders, and generally fits them for
| the duties of citizens of a Republic. 1t is
| to political excitement that this Union
owes its century of existence, and to it is
| due the fact that we have not learned the
| deceptive lesson that ''the business inter-
ests and the business pursuits of the cOun-
try are infinitely more important" than the
liberties Of a people. That people who in
republic are free from political excitement
have fallen iDto the first stage Of letbargy
which makes them easy prey to the oppo-
site party, and i'll the end easy prey to de-
signing men.
We are inclined to think that in the
| future, when looking for THAT candidate
and that party" that most nearly repre-
sent his views, Gen. Walker will fiud
them IN tie Democratic party for it is very
certain that for many years TO come the
probabilities are that the only national
party that will have the power TO aid Pro-
lection will be the Democratic; and that in
State matters any party that puts cut a
platform in favor OF the creditors and op-
posed to the people will commit political
suicide.

Do they remember that the affairs of the
Democratic party have been put in the hands
of committee not elected by anybody p
Ric7lnoo7d Times.
The present Democratic State Central
Committee came directly by election from
the delegates of the people, at the last State
convention which nominated the success
full Democratic candidate for Governor.
The State Executive Committee is also
direct from the authority OF the people,
given at the Lynchburg convention, to be
used by John S. Barbour in selecting his
aids. The Democratic organization is
without flaw, and its record Of victory
in State electionS-all that it has the
authority to conduct-is also without a
flaw.

The communication of Mayor Yost to
the Council, calling attention to the want
of a House of Correction for juvenile Of
tenders, is timely and should receive the
serious attention of those to whom the
city has entrusted its public interests 1t
is fact, illustrated by many arrests in the
last few years, that Staunton is breeding
q gang of boys who are little less than
trained thieves and whose counterpart is
rarely found outside of large cities. These
boys must be reformed or become danger
GUS pests to the community as they grow
older. The Jail, where of necessity they
associate with older and more callous COM
panions in vice, is merely a school where
they learn new devices and are fired with
ambition for higher crimes.

Representative Brady from the Peters
burg district in Virginia, made speech
in congress few days ago in which he
was frank enough to say that the recent
congressional result in Virginia was not a
victory Of the Republican party. He said:
1.-The result of the recent election in Vir-
ginia was great surprise to the Republicans.
The politicians are entitled to no credit for the
victory. 1t is the peoples work"
If ne had added that instead of being
the ''work" of the people, it was the result
of the supineness OF the people, his state
ment would have been as exact as it was
frank.

of this neglect with any degree of patience

q very amusing investigation within
the sacred precincts of the Republican
party is progressing in the city of New
York, in which the ''high moral idea'' of
that organization is being displayed to
advantage. 1t appears that last fall Mr..
Allen ThorndYke Rice, proprietor of
the North American Review" became
ambitious to be the Republican represen-
tative in congress from district IN New
York city, and ran for it. against Gen.
Spinola Dem.] His interests were en-
trusted to a prominent Republican mana
ger, Capt. Mike Cregan, who bled him to
the fullest extent. Mr.. Rice paid out
81 500. After his defeat, MIR. Rice got
wind of the fact that Capt Cregan had
sold him out to Spinola, and he brought
charges to that effect before the Republi-
can Central Committee of New York city.
The evidence before that body is of unc-
ti9us richness. Mr.. Rice testified that
}apt. Cregan applied to him for mon
campaign purposes he co. gave
hiG Gne following programme of how the
Republican party used money in New
York city:
It's all a.question of money. You put up
so much money and you get SO many votes
We don't cah it buying votes; we call it hiring
men by the day. We hire them to work, but
we don't see much of them after they VOTE
They generally turn up in the station house.
The developments at the investigation
were such as would bring blush to the
cheek of any political organization save
that branch Of the ''party of high moral
IDEAS" which makes its camping ground
in New Y DIRK city, and whose managers are
such heelers as Mike Cregan, Barney
kBiglin. Mike Dady, Johnny O'Brien and
rest.
